Baths Today

Did a few baths today. Magic came for a play and bath. Cali and Panda got a bath together - yes I did them together. Logan had his yesterday in anticipation of Lynda coming to get them. Poor Lynda has been going through round 2 of her mom in the hospital. Not fun - hugs Lynda!

Gidget departs soon. We are going to miss her craziness of chasing anything that moves out back and through the windows. Time for cleanup and blowout tomorrow. Gidget has wooly, curly hair so its a challenge to maintain but she puts up with my daily comb-outs and brush outs. She even gives me a kiss at the end.

This was Scruffy before his brushout and just before I picked him up as it was his turn to get brushed out. Do you think that face was telling me something? He is such an expressive dog.

Due to baths, Dennis doing weeds and the dogs running away with his pile as if it was a game (you would think he would do something with the pile), we do not have many photos. Besides the hard drive is becoming a challenge to pull important things off.

But we are still having fun. Weather is perfect. I got enough grooming in.

Looking forward to Woofstock Saturday. Hope some of you can join us. Send us mail if you are coming so we know who to look for.

We will have our cell phone with us so you can message us.

LOL.. Scruffy's face is identical to my Cali ( also B&W) when I pick her up to groom... my translation.. I'll be good, but just so you know I'm not going to like it... too funny!

Wow, Magic's coat is beautiful and so much lighter in colour than when she was younger, Has she ever been trimmed? She is beautiful!

Do not think she has been trimmed. As a sable she will go lighter and darker like Abigail and Roxie and Leti throughout her life. She does have nice hair. Her tummy is shaved but I think that's it as she only comes here for bathing and a tidy up.

Just looked - that photo is overexposed. She's actually an apricot in colour.

Gerda: I do believe that is what he was saying to me. I laughed and laughed as he is good for me. He allows me to put him on his back and do his underside etc. Not all do. You have to get them used to it. So its not as if he hates it. He does relax but he doesn't like my timing. Oh - I am next - please!

May 21, 2014 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Oh, Scruffs! He speaks volumes with his expressions and I have seen that look many a time.
Darlah, you have to tell me your secret as Scruffy will not allow me to put him on his back.....on his side maybe at times if he is really relaxed.

Lori: I massage him first. :-)

May 22, 2014 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Darlah: LOL. Scruffy loves a good massage and belly rub. You know the way to his heart :)

May 22, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterLori

Lori: I love that he loves it. Levon rolls over for me to rub his tummy on the floor, on the couch - wherever. Scruffy is more discriminating. But this visit its as if Pepper and Scruffy reversed roles. It's a riot!
